Official Low% MST Discussion Thread

[RingRush]

Version 6.1 is up! Miracle of miracles, yet another item is skipped, thanks to the efforts of Pokey and Klyde. The two new tricks that allowed it to happen: using a duped fairy for revival, and performing the fire trial hover in under 24 seconds. So farewell Goron Tunic, 27 items it is!

This route has some more major changes. Thanks to a new trick by Klyde, this route now gets Gold Gauntlets shortly after becoming an adult. This means we can skip the tricky megasidehop clip in the Spirit Temple and the long hover up the Forest Temple block room. This also means we can skip getting the bow as a child, saving a very long detour (and some very annoying hovers). Furthermore, this allows us to get Din's Fire instead of Fire Arrows. With DF, we can ascend the child side of the Spirit Temple, meaning we no longer have to do the 29 chu oob hover to skip the silver block on the way to the Mirror Shield. As a result of all the changes, 3 chu bowls were cut out of the route. Unfortunately, in order to compensate for all these alterations, Water Temple was moved back to a child again. Without hookshot, all this means is that it takes twice as long to kill Morpha. There were many other related changes to the route, such as delaying the Spirit chu chest until adult and making sure all OIs are done by the time we reach Fire Temple (we need space for fairies).

route needs to be updated so that it's possible to complete

[RingRush]

Yeah yeah, will do. There are two options:

1. Write the route for Gamecube, which is significantly easier.
2. Write the general route, which is a bit harder.

For those not in the know, the problem with this route is that upon becoming adult, you can't get the cursor to hover over bombchus to equip them. The two solutions known are to get Fire Arrow's instead of Din's Fire, or to do Deku Tree as an adult and bow as a child. There is a potential for more random unequipabilities like this, and we really have no way to predict them, so be warned with any untested future routes.

Btw, vote on 1 or 2 while I finish up my homework, then I'll probably rewrite the route.

[ING-X]

write it for gamecube

no one except me is interested in doing low% mst anyway and i use gamecube because my n64 stick is ASS

Here is a WIP of this challenge.

I'm obviously not using the fastest route (lol Din's Fire), but it will get 27 items nonetheless.

[Elminster]

I'm alive and haven't quit this, in case anyone was wondering. I's lazy.
